The world according to me? It's in denial... when in the name of all that's holy....did a child's life become less important, of less worth than an adults? You may say I am stretching BUT no, I am not... I don't know every case, I don't know every story so my references to Conrad are not because I don't care about any other child...it's just what I know...now...Conrad was killed brutally by two adults. No one else was there...no one else had any involvement...he was a defenseless 19 month old baby that was beaten repeatedly over a period of at the least 3-4 days (most likely more) until his little body gave out and God took him home...
His murderers will be out in 18 and 23 years. His murderers...will be able to have a life again. He does not.
George Huguely beat his girlfriend to death brutally and without concern (although he was drunk and "angry")... she was a bright girl, Yeardley Love...she had a life to look forward to also... her murderer has been found guilty and recommend sentence of 26 is expected...

26 years? Now, I agree that he is a murderous freak who had some jealousy issues and a drinking problem and I pray he does get the 26 year sentence and the Judge holds tightly to his own oaths...
I am NOT saying this young woman's life is LESS important...I AM WONDERING how Conrad's was worth less. He didn't date his killer...he was born to her. He did not have alcohol in his system...he was a baby. He did not make the choice to argue with his attackers...they were his caretakers...now, he reportedly had drugs in his system but it is fairly certain he did not consume them himself...
How is his life less worthy than Yeardley's? It isn't... when will this country really decide do protect the one thing we have to look forward to in this grim deathtrap we call life? The children should be our first concern....
Jus sayin....
